The problem isn't that he's pro-life. The problem is that he is saying if you got pregnant from a rape it means you actually wanted to be raped. It
doesn't matter if you're pro-life or pro-choice that is just an extremely stupid and horrific statement to make.

Quote that from the article specifically please.

Direct quotation where he said if you got pregnant from a rape they wanted to be raped.

not from atkins perhaps,
but you yourself posted on the "if you were raped, god wanted it to happen" thread if memory serves
so just check your own posting history

searching rape with ats search

seems to show that the ole patriarchal "right to rape" is alive and kicking in some parts of the us

edit on 19-8-2012 by DerepentLEstranger because: (no reason given)

Link the post please:

“Let’s assume that maybe that didn’t work, or something,” Akin said. “I think there should be some punishment, but the punishment ought
to be on the rapist and not attacking the child.”

The "right to rape" ??????

1st, read the linked extext in the post above the one youre replying to its hard to miss
and

WOW! Does this Todd Akin character work at being an idiot or was he born this way? I don't think a woman's body can automatically tell the difference
between consensual sperm and rape sperm. What a moron. It sounds to me like this Todd Akin might be missing a gene or two in the brain development
area. It's amazing how many times politicians will open their mouths to change feet. I wonder what would happen if a "doctor" told him that Monsanto's
GMO foods were slowly killing people? Probably nothing, even if he had hard proof....

The guy is anti abortion who is trying to save the life of a child(many of them) that has no capacity to fight back which makes him stupid,extremist
etc.

The man is an idiot who expects a woman to carry her rapists child. Do you have any idea of the concept of that from a woman's point of view?

Force into sex. Humiliated. Degraded. Violated.

And then some fool comes along and tells her she has to carry the child of the man who did that to her - a daily reminder of the event for 9 months of
pregnancy, the whole birthing process and a lifetime reminder of the event afterwards.

That's not politics. That's not even religion. That's just pure evil sadism.

No one has the right to say that to a woman when it can be prevented. No one.

Its 2012 dammit, not the stone age.

True and even worse, she then is FORCED by the STATE to literally pay for the crime done to her via a lifetime of expenses of the child. She likely
would have deal with the rapist the rest of her life via child support. Maybe the criminal decides he likes being a daddy after gets out of prison, so
the woman is forced to interact with her rapist at "happy times," like graduations, birthdays, weddings, etc.

Its not really a party politics thing... when it boils down to it the question is how can someone who comes out with something so crassly stupid
actually be in a position where they can run for senate - and who the hell would vote for them?

I'm sure guys like that have their own special constituency.

I hear they even let them ride on their own very special bus to school.

Fine let's talk about partisan hackery the same people that says "women should have a choice" then turn around and try to tell others what to do
with their bodies such as:

No smoking
No transfats
No big gulps
No guns

etc,

No one is prevented from enjoying any of those things.
Now, if the only thing getting in the way of my abortion is that I have to step outside to have one, then you might have a point.
In NY I can still smoke, eat fried food, own a gun, and wash it down with as much soda as I like.

I'm all for voting pro-life in elections but, when somebody says something that dumb, you really gotta have 2nd thoughts about voting for them.

There are plenty of intelligent, articulate pro-lifers out there. Just one numbskull like this guy makes the whole movement look stupid. Its better to
condemn him for his stupid remark than it is to blindly support him just because he's pro-life and let everyone think all pro-lifers are that stupid.

I want to say I appreciate the heads up. I'm in Missouri and active in this race. I'm doing everything in my power, as I said I would, to see Claire
defeated and thrown into the street. It's a shame we have a pig to replace her with but a Pig beats whatever you want to call her, any day and twice
on Sunday.

He'll have to do MUCH more than babble some real bad information and put his foot down his throat to get on my bad side. We have a Vice President who
makes a full time career out of putting his foot down his throat and he's not a problem.... I won't condemn this guy over this. Not when the
alternative is someone I'd vote for ANYONE..anyone at ALL...to replace, especially.

I'm also going to note something and hope the OP isn't too offended... But the site is, well.....EVERY story that site is carrying is an attack piece
on a republican. MOST are on Romney or Ryan and now..our idiot from Missouri is bumping their headlines.

I felt like I was on the DNC website looking for Conservative reports? It doesn't change what this moron said....but it DOES make me wonder just how
many people that group is recording the words of 24/7 for the ONCE in a great while they pull a Gotcha from the sea. I'd LOVE to hear Claire say ONE
thing she wants to *DO*...but like her buddy in the White House, it's attack attack attack...and oh yeah, she has some kind of plans she'll get to
after we re-elect her.

This election is as dirty as they come..and it just keeps getting worse.

Message to Russia and China: If this guy is "legitimately" elected, you have my blessing to take Missouri. Any other state, until the people of that
state prove themselves to be at least as stupid, I will defend against an invading army. Seriously. If this guy is voted in, the people of Missouri
are no longer Americans IMO.
